And what are the 2 things hanging off the bottom of the bumper?

Is it because it’s low?  I figured the hitch would block all things that might catch

The hanging hitch, not the receiver. Just playing I know it comes off.

I am just old school and grease does help keep the noise down. I tried the wax thing but didn’t get all the grease off first so everything turned black anyway. I tried a ball with the top half having a plastic covering. I promptly knocked that off backing into the coupler which was just low enough to scrape it off.

Once upon a time several of us were arguing over over having one common shrader, or keeping the bags separate with 2 valves. Iirc I was on the 2 valve wagon while Boss and some dude from Texas said it didn't matter, but my memory is like something else... keeps getting shorter.

I guess one would work,   You loose pressure in one bag you might as well empty the other bag

No sense in one siding riding different


What did you kids come up with? 

I think I remember tex doing something on his dually long long ago

I’m of the one fill camp.  Those who worried about air transfer from one bag to the other in turns are over thinking it IMO It would have to be a high speed long sweeping turn with a lot of weight to transfer any significant air.  And yeah one full bag and one empty is not helpful if one leaks

Did you try it for any time?

Dave, I've run one valve for years. I do a lot of hard cornering trying to get any speed at all on these windy roads. Haven't noticed anything except for great handling all the time.
The camper I built??? I set that up for individual air valves. One bag leaks and I end up with the camper sitting all crooked and leaning. Fits the motif when I'm crusin' in the hood, but doesn't work anywhere else... :rolleyes:

Yes. My set up on the dually was a single fill. 20,000 miles of towing without issue

All you have to do is cut the line, add a T and you have 1 valve.

So drill another hole, then use the center one. Or, replace the mounting piece or, just not worry about it. People don’t tend to get on their hands and knees looking to see how many holes you drilled.

I can’t think of a logical reason to change what I have, meets the manufacturer specs

I’m good.  Two air valves is ok by me.

You did it the right way Dave. The only right way.
Why would you take advice from one guy that doesn't want an accurate temp gauge, and another that uses a trailer to haul something that would fit in the trunk of a Yugo?

But when the truck appears to be empty it is full of air......so when the bed of the truck is full of stuff, you just move the air from the bed of the truck into the bags. That way you have it with you for when you take all the stuff out of the back.

My bags said 3-5lb minimum. To keep the bags from pinching if the suspension were to bottom out

I noticed my suspension will drop further then my bags will allow.   

Do I need some sort of limit straps or are the bags held together well enough to keep together?

Among other projects here at the house. The wife wanted me to install our security cameras and the DVR deal to record,   In the home run room I have many junk piles,  like the Christmas stuff, the excess paper goods, kids toys we have taken away in black garbage bags and a washer and dryer the kids use, dads gun safe

I previously mounted the Poe switch and patch panels in a computer rack. Now I need to mount a screen/monitor on the wall to more easily view the cameras.

First I wanted a cabinet to set junk on


Now I need a counter top of some sort. Burch ply is what is coming to mind as it’s cheap and easy to cut.

Then I’ll hang the screen.

Ply on top then melame or similar. You can destroy and replace! Or just go with regular kitchen counter on sale. What about cutting board? A little pricier but looks good and solid.

Tonight was time to finish up grandmas rose trellis.    It was designed for 4x4 post but hell I got metal for about the same price and these are straight and will work perfect because I don’t have to drill bolt holes when I have a mig.


About three feet wide and 7.5 feet tall to place in the yard for her rose to climb
